August 14, 2009 Reap What You Sow
Today’s Bible Reading: Jeremiah 16, 17; Psalm 96; John 16
Scripture Focus:
Jeremiah 17:10 I, the LORD, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.
Observation:
There is a principle that is repeated with some frequency in the Bible: you will reap what you sow. Even the hidden things are known to God who searches the heart and tests the mind. Therefore, if I don’t like the fruit I’m seeing in my life, perhaps I’d better look at what I’m sowing.
Application:
I’ve heard it said that “Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result.” God said it first long ago: You will reap what you sow. So what do I want to reap? Aaaah! Now that’s the question I must answer!
Prayer:
Father God, give me a vision for what can be when I follow biblical principles, and give me the courage to take steps in the right direction.
